Read the covered-porch part first
I almost put her at the end of the driveway before I read the manual. She belongs under the roofline. Moved her back and she has been fine every night since.

Anchor it properly
It's a sail in wind, like anything this tall. With real stakes and two guy lines it rode out a gusty night fine.

Plant them near the walkway
Planted they stand about 13 in off the ground, so from the street they disappeared into the grass. Moved the whole set to within arm's reach of the walkway and they finally read from a car.

Turn it off at bedtime
There is a switch, which I am grateful for, because it will absolutely go off at the cat at two in the morning. Flip it before bed and it is fine. Sound and motion are on the same switch.

Watch the pole footing
The footpad trigger is fun but the pole wants level ground. A paver under the base fixed the lean.

Wish the cord reached a little further
It reaches my nearest outlet fine, but if your porch outlet sits far from the lawn, plan on an outdoor extension cord.

Face is the best part
The skull has actual paint depth, not the flat grey most of these come with. Robe needed a steam to lose the fold lines.

Held up well on our haunted walk-through, one small thing
Bought the 8-pack to line the hallway of our indoor haunted walk-through and the ghosts-out-of-the-hole effect looks incredible under string lights. After a few weekends of heavy foot traffic some of the rubber dots on the backing flattened out, though it's still gripping fine so far. For the price per unit I'm not worried about it and I'm already planning to order more.

Big box, plan the storage
Displays beautifully. November me needs to figure out where he sleeps — keep the carton.

Shipping ran the full window, but the rug itself delivered
Paid for express since I ordered close to the party date and it still took the full 4 business days to arrive, which had me a little nervous. Once it showed up though, no complaints — the print is way more vivid in person than the photos, and a quick vacuum keeps the fabric surface looking fresh. Docking one star just for the shipping window running longer than I hoped.

Great centerpiece, thinner than I pictured
Got the 4-pack for our entryway and dining room and the print quality is fantastic, way more detailed than the seasonal stuff we bought in years past. I expected something a bit plusher underfoot given the price, it's only about a half centimeter thick, but that actually means it lays flat under the console table without bunching. Would still buy again for how good it looks.

Great detail, wish the arms were a hair sturdier
The carving on the face and ribs is genuinely impressive up close. One arm joint felt a little loose out of the box, but it hasn't moved or sagged once it was staked in place for a week now.

Great bones, stiff joints at first
Joints are tight out of the box — work them a little before posing. After that he holds a lantern at full arm extension, which is what I bought him for.

Shows lint easily but holds up well
We put the 20in from our 4-pack on the stair landing where my kids stop dead every time to stare at the skeleton pulling the present out of the ground. Only knock is the red areas show pet hair and lint more than I'd like between vacuum runs, but a quick pass with the vacuum sorts it out fine. The locked edge hasn't frayed at all even with two dogs going up and down those stairs daily.

Turn the volume down for indoors
Out of the box it is set loud enough for a garage. There is a dial on it, and once I brought it down it sits under conversation instead of over it. Would not have found it without reading the sheet.

Color's a touch different in person
Paid extra for express and it showed up in four business days like promised, right for the entryway. Only thing is the fire-orange looks a shade brighter on my phone screen than the actual rug, which leans a little more toward burnt amber in hand. Still looks great by the door and the locked edge hasn't shifted a bit on our hardwood.

Think about where you will store it
Only thing to plan for is the off season. The arms are long and they do not fold, so it went back in its box and up on a garage shelf.

Keep the phone nearby
Works the way it says, just plan on having a phone in range if you want to change what it says while people are out front.

Looks best with a spotlight, not on its own in the dark
It has no lights built in, which I knew going in, but at night without any light nearby it basically disappears. Aimed our existing ground spotlight at it and now it's the best-looking thing on the block after dark.

Great light, wish it said which batteries
No complaints about the thing itself — the glow through the fabric is warmer and softer than the LED junk I have bought before. My one gripe is that nothing on the listing or the box told me what batteries the pack takes, so I opened it and then had to go back out to the store. Knock off a star for that, not for the ghost.

Great presence, tame motor
The movement is subtler than the video made it look — more sway than lunge. In the dark with an uplight it works.

Louder than expected
Volume has one setting: committed. Faces the street now instead of the door and it's perfect.

Simple to run, which I actually wanted
No app, no sensor, no phone required — I know some people want that, but I just wanted to flip it on and set the timer. Does exactly that and nothing more.

Smaller than I pictured
Thirty-five inches is about waist height on me, so it is a doorway or a corner piece, not a lawn piece. That is my fault for not measuring. For what it is, it looks great and the straw is fuller than the photos suggest.
